Hi Everyone,
Here are a few updates on what I have been up to.
Following the death of Queen Elizabeth II, I am honored to have been commissioned to paint a portrait in oils of the late Queen. The portrait will be shipped to the King's residence in London Clarence house. This has been a privilege to paint.
I have painted a portrait of HRH, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle with our President Michael D. Higgins and his wife and dogs outside of an Áras in Phoenix Park, Dublin, following their visit in July 2018. That painting is now in the president’s own collection and hanging in Áras an Uachtaráin.
I would like to thank everyone who purchased my paintings in the following sales at Morgan O'Driscoll Art Auctioneers, including the important Irish art sale held last month, August ’22. I am receiving a lot of inquiries since my work appeared at auction, so thank you again.
With the permission of the person who commissioned me, I have included a photo of the commissioned oil painting of the late Queen Elizabeth II(measurements 20”x30”) beneath this update.
I will share more of my paintings on here soon.
Bye for now,
Fergus Shannon
